Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include skeletally mature patients aged 18 and older who are either planned for or have already received the Hexanium TLIF system implant.

Probably not a fit

Patients with infections, significant obesity, or other contraindications related to the surgical procedure may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to confirm the safety and efficacy of the Hexanium TLIF system in treating patients with degenerative disc disease. It involves both retrospective and prospective subjects, allowing for the collection of data from patients who have already undergone the procedure as well as those scheduled for it. Participants will be monitored for up to 24 months post-surgery, with assessments focusing on back and leg pain, disability levels, and any adverse effects experienced. Key metrics include Visual Analogue Scores (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of the Hexanium TLIF system, potentially improving treatment options for patients with degenerative disc disease.

How similar studies have gone: While this study is observational and builds on existing surgical techniques, similar approaches in spinal fusion have shown promise in previous studies.
